A couple years ago, they were supposed to the the 'next big thing' for Jeep YJ's. It was a single tapered leaf spring that would, in theory, provide a continuously variable spring rate due to the taper. Sounds like a good plan, right?

Vettes have been using them for years. When the Heep YJ system came out a buddy of mine called and asked if a Cruiser system was in the works. Manufacturer said a Cruiser was too heavy for the monolinear YJ style spring. I'm thinking that I like to slide my Cruiser on the springs on a regular basis and 'glass isn't gonna hold up to the abuse...

Plenty of rocks in harbors and shallow waterways around here, and probably 90% fiberglass hull boats in those harbors. They're dragged over rocks by people who are not following the channels like they're supposed to.
